An alderman serves two roles: daily troubleshooter and first responder on quality of life issues, and advocate/representative for ward residents - as well as sworn fiduciary - on the city council.<BR/><BR/>I'll let my previous comments stand with regard to my ongoing career and my worthiness to represent this large and diverse area of the city, and add only the following. <BR/><BR/>After weeks of walking every area of the ward every day and evening, I am quite familiar with the different issues and concerns in each neighborhood. SoLo, NoLo, Heatherton, the area near the fairgrounds, etc. The list goes on. <BR/><BR/>I have been warmly invited into homes in every neighborhood and have learned something new every day, because I try to listen and absorb what is being communicated to me. <BR/><BR/>It's a different approach, this "going out to meet people and listening to them" thing. But this is - as the kids say - how I roll. I highly recommend it to anyone running for office.<BR/><BR/>Lisa L.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621071228615190769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-63889931581375179962007-10-20T17:27:00.000-05:002007-10-20T17:27:00.000-05:00I don't care what you say, somebody that has been ...I don't care what you say, somebody that has been in her ward for two months and wants to run it makes me uneasy.

As a result, I moved back to Davenport in 2005. I stayed with my father for a few weeks, then I moved into a home in the 6th ward. I bought that home (a small and modest place by Heights standards, by the way) in part because I could not find a house or apartment for rent that met my technical needs - meaning, the type and amount of electrical support I needed to maintain and protect my studio equipment. <BR/><BR/>I met my fiance shortly after I arrived in town, and his home was in the 4th ward (near 5 Points). Because he has four children, we spent the majority of our time at his home and eventually decided to buy a home together - IN THE 4TH WARD - and sell the other houses. My house sat empty for several months because I didn't want to put it on the market and have it sit until I felt it would sell.<BR/><BR/>With the generous help of Chris's parents,we moved into our home on Fillmore Lane last winter, and after finally selling the other two homes, were able to buy the property in July. For what it is worth, I made no money on the sale of my home - I took a loss.<BR/><BR/>For what it is worth, I was born and raised in the 1st ward -- I'm a west-end kid down to my socks and always will be. This thinly veiled attempt to suggest that I am a Johnny Come Lately or carpetbagger is entirely unfounded. This is my hometown - if anything, I think I deserve at least a little respect for not only moving back to support the city with my tax dollars, but being willing to give something back in terms of service if elected.<BR/><BR/>With apologies to Stephen Colbert, I don't think we can gauge a person's "Davenportiality" on how long they've lived at one address. <BR/><BR/>This is exactly what has plagued city government for too long: putting personalities before policy prevents us from discussing the very real challenges we face in this city. <BR/><BR/>In sum, I am as much a part of the fabric of this community as anyone else. And I am frankly proud that the west-ender in me hasn't once challenged you to meet me at the tunnel after school so I can whup ya. (That's a little Davenportiality test for everyone to enjoy. Only people from certain Davenport neighborhoods will get that joke.)<BR/><BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>Lisa L.<BR/><BR/>PS: Anon, if there is anything else about my personal life you'd like to know, fire away.
